The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [139]

As the mushroom cloud from Klee’s bomb slowly dissipated, the battlefield settled into an eerie quiet. The remaining Hilichurls had fled without a trace, and the Abyss Mages at the center of the explosion had been obliterated, leaving behind no sign of their existence.

The only remnant was a single Abyss Mage’s staff, which spun in the air before clattering to the ground in front of the Knights of Favonius.

With the blast’s shockwave fading, the Knights slowly rose from their defensive stances, exchanging bewildered glances before erupting into victorious cheers.

The victory was strange, perhaps, but a victory nonetheless.

“Did the Abyss Mages… get blown up by that treasure?” Lumine peered into the crater left by the explosion, confusion evident on her face. “Why were they so confident about it? They practically boasted until the moment they exploded!”

“That bomb… it looked kind of familiar,” Paimon muttered, wracking her memory. “Oh! That’s it! It’s just like the bombs Klee used in Wolvendom!”

“Wait a second—are you saying that was Klee’s treasure?” Paimon exclaimed in disbelief.

As Lumine and Paimon tried to process the absurdity of what had happened, Jean had already begun organizing the Knights to clean up the battlefield and pursue any Hilichurls that might have scattered to nearby towns.

Just as Jean prepared to personally lead the effort, the Knights gently nudged her toward Mondstadt instead.

“Acting Grand Master, leave this to us. Captain Kaeya said he has something urgent to discuss with you back in the city.”

Despite her initial hesitation, Jean allowed herself to be guided away, her duties momentarily delegated to the Knights. Her steps carried her in the direction of Jia Changjiang and Lumine, who were regrouping with Razor nearby.

“Mr. Jax, Lumine, Paimon… and Razor?”

Jean greeted them politely, recalling Razor’s name as a disciple of Lisa. Though Razor had ties to the Grand Master and Lisa, Jean herself had little opportunity to interact with him.

Razor gave her a brief nod before running off toward the city, leaving Jean somewhat puzzled. Shrugging it off, she turned her attention to Jia Changjiang and Lumine.

“Thank you for your help,” she said earnestly. “On behalf of the Knights of Favonius, I deeply appreciate everything you’ve done for Mondstadt. Time and again, you’ve come to our aid… I can’t thank you enough.”

Pausing briefly, she continued, “I know it’s not much, but I understand you’re saving for your journey to Liyue. As a token of appreciation, I’d like to provide some financial support—”

Before Jean could finish, Lumine shook her head firmly.

“We’ve already saved enough for our trip,” she said with a smile. “Helping you and Mondstadt is what really matters!”

Her intentions were clear. Mora could always be earned again, but Jean’s goodwill was priceless. The mental calculation in Lumine’s mind was quick: securing Jean’s favor outweighed any material reward.

Jia Changjiang, on the other hand, grinned and said, “I’ll take my share as travel funds. No need for anything else.”

“Understood,” Jean replied with a nod. After a moment’s hesitation, she asked, “Have you seen the Darknight Hero? I’d like to thank him as well. If possible… I’d also like to confirm his identity.”

Her expression turned thoughtful. “His fighting style and demeanor… they remind me of Diluc. Do you think it’s him?”

“Diluc? No way!” Lumine’s voice carried an exaggerated tone of disbelief, bolstered by her efforts to protect the reward she’d earned from Diluc’s secrecy.

“Diluc wouldn’t secretly help out like that. He’s been at Angel’s Share all night—when I passed by earlier, he was still there!”

“Is that so?” Jean frowned slightly, uncertainty clouding her face.

“Why don’t we check together?” Jia Changjiang suggested with a shrug. “If he’s at Angel’s Share, you can ask him directly. And didn’t Kaeya want to meet with you there anyway?”

Jean considered this and nodded. “That sounds reasonable. Let’s head there together.”

As she turned toward Mondstadt, Lumine and Jia Changjiang shared a quick, celebratory high-five behind her back.

“Hm?”

Hearing the clap, Jean glanced back, only to find Lumine and Jia Changjiang looking perfectly composed, with Paimon hiding her face behind her hands.

“Let’s hurry, Acting Grand Master!” Lumine chirped, linking arms with Jean. “Lisa’s waiting for you at Angel’s Share too!”

“Yes, yes, let’s go!” Paimon added, flying ahead excitedly.

“Lisa is there?” Jean’s curiosity grew as Lumine and Paimon led the way toward the city.

Jia Changjiang watched them go, a sly smile on his face as he opened his system interface.

As Jia Changjiang claimed his rewards, the scene shifted to Angel’s Share, where Amber and Klee had already arrived.

Klee sat in a corner, her small frame hunched as she hugged her knees.

“Klee’s bomb… exploded near the bridge…”

Her voice was muffled and full of dread.

“If Acting Grand Master Jean finds out that it was my bomb… she’s definitely going to be mad!”

Tears welled up in Klee’s eyes as she buried her face in her hands.

“Klee… Klee might not see tomorrow’s sun… Waaaaahhhh…”
